ABOUT US

"We believe in a world where no child ever has to live on the streets"

Over the past 45 years,we worked in over 4 District to provide youth with practical,
hands-on-skills that they can apply to entrepreneurial endeavors and entry-level jobs.
We do not believe in providing hand-outs. Our goal is to provide sustainable skills
through education, which can be used over a long period of time. Through a unique
Train-the-Trainer model, Street Kids provides educational workshops on relevant
business skills to Master Trainers and Youth Workers based in developing countries.

Street Level

At street level we strive to meet the immediate needs of children
at risk on the streets and platforms of India today. We have created
a number of ‘child friendly stations’ with the help and engagement
of the people who work at them, who now look out for and help children
alone and at risk.

Community Level

At community level we work to make children on the streets
visible to society and to help people understand the issues that
cause children to run away and that face them on the streets and
on the platforms. We invest time and skills in preventative intervention,
with the aim of creating ‘safety nets’ within communities to catch
children who are at risk of running away before they do so.

Government Level

At government level we work to persuade policy makers that
children living on the streets should be higher on India’s
political agenda and that government policies should provide greater
protection and opportunity for them

Why do children end up on the streets?

Children end up on the streets for a mixture of
reasons, though poverty is usually at the heart of the problem.
In the countries where we work, conflict and poverty combine to
force children onto the streets. In many cases a child's family
can no longer afford to care for them properly or may need their
help to supplement the family income and help put food on the table.
